• Study outlines risk factors for poor outcome, mortality following hip fracture

  A new study identifies predictors of complications and mortality following a hip fracture, including dialysis, cardiac disease, diabetes, and a longer time before surgery – the only modifiable risk factor when patients are hospitalized. Each year, more than 340,000 Americans are hospitalized for hip more

• Alcohol abusers' depression often related to drinking

  For problem drinkers, bouts of depressive symptoms are often the direct result of their heavy alcohol intake. Experts have long known that heavy drinking can spur temporary episodes of depression—what's known as "substance-induced depression." However, this information is not always apparent to busy more

• Do you see the complete picture?
  

  Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) or also named size exclusion chromatography (SEC) is the most often used method for determining the molecular weight of natural and synthetic macromolecules. One specific strength of this method lies in the fact that by the separation process the whole molecular weight distribution is obtained. The molecular weight distribution contains much larger information for the characterization of polymer samples compared to a single value. more

• Quality control of colorimetrically stained gels and blots
  

  In the pharmaceutical and food industry, using a scanner-based system is more recommended than using a camera-based system for the acquisition, documentation and analysis of colorimetrically stained gels, blots and TLC samples. The combination of a scanner with a suitable control and analysis software is decisively for completely meeting GxP guidelines more

• Good Reasons to Use ATR Libraries
  

  Transmission spectroscopy was the only method in general use until the early 1960s. The first applications of attenuated total reflection (ATR) or internal reflection spectroscopy were reported independently by Fahrenfort and Harrick. Especially macromolecular materials (rubbers, fibers, fabrics, coatings, laminates etc), which often failed to yield useful transmittance spectra, became accessible for infrared spectroscopic investigations by the ATR technique. Meanwhile, the ATR technique has been proven to be an extremely useful technique for material analysis and has become more widely used for all but gaseous samples. more

• Modeling of Water Loss during Osmotic Dehydration of Apple Cubes in Sugar Beet Molasses

  Abstract Application of the Peleg model was investigated for predicting water loss (WL) during osmotic dehydration of apples in sugar beet molasses at different concentrations (40–80 °Bx) and temperatures (45–65C). Analyses of variance was used in order to find significant effects of temperatur more

• The Timing Statistics of Spontaneous Calcium Release in Cardiac Myocytes

  by Mesfin Asfaw, Enric Alvarez-Lacalle, Yohannes Shiferaw A variety of cardiac arrhythmias are initiated by a focal excitation that disrupts the regular beating of the heart. In some cases it is known that these excitations are due to calcium (Ca) release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) via more
